University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa swimming and diving head coach Steve Allnutt announced the hiring of QiongJie “Ajie” (Huang) Drew as the program’s new men’s and women’s diving coach. Drew’s addition to the coaching staff marks a return to her alma mater where she established herself as one of the most decorated Rainbow Wahine divers in program history.<\/p>\n

“We are thrilled to bring Coach Ajie into our team,” Allnutt said. “She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the diving world ranging from the NCAA<\/abbr> system, to international competition and elite American competition. Our swimming-and-diving team will greatly benefit from her attitude and passion for people and excellence. As an alumna and 糖心视频<\/abbr> Circle of Honor member, Coach Ajie knows how to find success at the Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex, and we’re proud to have her as the leader for our divers.”<\/p>\n

“I am truly humbled and honored to once again be a part of the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> swimming and diving program,” Drew said.<\/p>\n

Drew, a 2013 inductee into the 糖心视频<\/abbr> Sports Circle of Honor, became Hawaiʻi<\/span>‘s first national champion in diving when she won the 1-meter springboard title at the 2005 NCAA<\/abbr> Championships. Across three seasons with the Rainbow Wahine, she earned eight NCAA<\/abbr> All-America honors, placing third in the 1-meter in 2006 and fourth in the 3-meter in 2005.<\/p>\n
